There was a release note for AS 1.6 in OS X which said the coercion would
continue to work automatically for fileURL, and Chris Espinosa specifically
confirmed it to me at the time (just before release of OS 10.1).
I thought one needed Jon's Commands to coerce a file path string?
Think of all those "It doesn't work for me. Oh, I need an osax?" cases.
